Shape optimization of an electrostatic capacitive sensor [PDF]
This paper describes the shape optimization of an electrostatic capacitive sensor used to detect fingers. We consider two state determination problems. The first is a basic electrostatic field problem consisting of sensing electrodes, an earth electrode,

The Optimal Shape of a Javelin
The problem of finding the optimal tapering of a free (nonsupported) javelin is described and solved. For the optimal javelin, the lowest mode of vibration has the highest possible frequency. With this tapering inner damping will lead to the cessation of the vibration at the fastest possible rate.
